Can specific dietary restrictions and preferences be accommodated on a tour?
Yes, we can accommodate nearly all dietary needs, including allergies, intolerances, and personal preferences, but it’s important you let us know before your trip starts. Your preferences will be communicated to the hotels and huts along your route, and cannot be changed during your trip. At restaurants without set menus, you’ll be able to select what you like.
In the past, the Alps eateries were known for being a bit unfriendly about food preferences, but these days, it’s becoming more common to adapt to different dietary needs. Still, options are likely to be limited compared to what you might expect at home.
You may wish to supplement in areas you are specifically concerned about; for example, if you are vegetarian or vegan, you may want to bring additional sources of protein.
